Additionally, in TDS analysis, the oxygen of part release is detected as oxygen atom.The ratio of oxygen molecule and oxygen atom can be from The ionization rate of oxygen molecule calculates.It should be noted that because above-mentioned α includes the ionization rate of oxygen molecule, the therefore number of the oxygen atom of release Also can be estimated by assessing the number of the oxygen molecule discharging.
It should be noted that NO2 is the number of discharged oxygen molecule.In dielectric film, when being converted into oxygen atom, oxygen evolution amount It is the twice of the number of discharged oxygen molecule.
As the example therefrom discharging the dielectric film of oxygen by heating, provide the silicon oxide (SiOX (X > 2)) of oxygen excess Film.In silicon oxide (SiOX (X the > 2)) film of oxygen excess, the number of the oxygen atom of per unit volume is more than per unit volume The twice of the number of silicon atom.By Rutherford backscattering spectrographic method (RBS) measure per unit volume silicon atom number and The number of oxygen atom.It should be noted that in this embodiment, the silicon oxide film of above-mentioned oxygen excess is used as gate insulating film 105.
Then, oxide semiconductor film 107 is formed on gate insulating film 105.Oxide semiconductor film 107 is using having half The metal-oxide of conductor characteristics is forming.Band gap is selected to be 2.5eV or more, be preferably for oxide semiconductor film 107 The material of 3.0eV or more, to reduce the OFF-state current of transistor 100.It should be noted that can use characteristic of semiconductor is assumed simultaneously There is the material of the band gap of above range, to replace the metal-oxide with characteristic of semiconductor.To oxide semiconductor film 107 Degree of crystallinity there is no specific restriction, and can using amorphous oxide semiconductor films, single crystal oxide semiconductor film, polycrystalline oxidation Thing semiconductor film etc..
Oxide semiconductor film 107 can be oxide semiconductor (CAAC-OS) film of c-axis be aligned crystallization.
CAAC-OS film is not complete monocrystalline, is not completely amorphous.CAAC-OS film is with crystal-amorphous mixing The oxide semiconductor film of phase structure, wherein crystal block section and amorphous fraction are included in amorphous phase.It should be noted that in most of feelings In shape, crystal block section loads it and is less than in the cube of 100nm.According to the sight being obtained with transmission electron microscope (TEM) Examine image, in CAAC-OS film, the obscure boundary between amorphous fraction and crystal block section is clear.Additionally, using TEM, do not find CAAC-OS Grain boundary in film.Therefore, it is suppressed that the reduction of the electron mobility being caused due to grain boundary in CAAC-OS film.
In each crystal block section that CAAC-OS film includes, the aligning direction of c-axis is parallel to formation CAAC-OS film The normal vector on the surface of the normal vector on surface or CAAC-OS film, forms from the triangle watched perpendicular to the direction of a-b plane Shape or hexagon atomic arrangement, and when when watching perpendicular to the direction of c-axis metallic atom arrange in a hierarchical manner, or gold Belong to atom and oxygen atom arranges in a hierarchical manner.It should be noted that in all crystal block sections, a axle of a crystal block section and the side of b axle To may differ from a axle of another crystal block section and the direction of b axle.In this manual, simpler term " vertical " is included from 85 ° To 90 ° of scope.Additionally, simpler term " parallel " includes the scope from -5 ° to 5 °.
In CAAC-OS film, the distribution of crystal block section need not be uniform.For example, in the formation process of CAAC-OS film, Crystal growth from the situation that the face side of oxide semiconductor film occurs, the crystal portion of the near surface of oxide semiconductor film The ratio divided is higher than the ratio being formed with the crystal block section of the near surface of oxide semiconductor film in some cases.Additionally, When impurity is added to CAAC-OS film, the crystal block section being added with the region of impurity becomes amorphous in some cases.
The aligning direction of the c-axis of the crystal block section being included due to CAAC-OS film is parallel to the table being formed with CAAC-OS film The direction of the normal vector on the surface of the normal vector in face or CAAC-OS film, therefore c-axis may depend on the shape of CAAC-OS film (forming the cross sectional shape on the surface of the cross sectional shape on surface of CAAC-OS film or CAAC-OS film) and different from each other.It should be noted that When forming CAAC-OS film, the direction of the c-axis of crystal block section is parallel to be formed with the normal vector on the surface of CAAC-OS film Or the direction of the normal vector on the surface of CAAC-OS film.Formed by film or by executing for crystallization after film formation Process (as heat treatment) and form crystal block section.
Using CAAC-OS film, the crystal causing due to the irradiation of visible ray or ultraviolet light can be reduced by the transistor The change of the electrical characteristics of pipe.Therefore, transistor has high reliability.
It should be noted that a part of oxygen that oxide semiconductor film includes can be substituted with nitrogen.

It is used in the situation of oxide semiconductor film 107 in In-Ga-Zn-O sill, component ratio is for In2O3∶Ga2O3∶ The material of ZnO=1: 1: 1 [mol ratio] can be used as the example of the metal-oxide target containing In, Ga and Zn.Or, component can be used Than for In2O3: the target of Ga2O3: ZnO=1: 1: 2 [mol ratios], component are than for In2O3: Ga2O3: ZnO=1: 1: 4 [mol ratios] Target or component than for In2O3: the target of Ga2O3: ZnO=2: 1: 8 [mol ratios].
It is used as in the situation of oxide semiconductor film 107 in In-Zn-O sill, the atomic ratio than Zn for the In is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 50, preferably greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 20, more preferably greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or wait In 15.When the atomic ratio than Zn for the In in the above range when, the field-effect mobility of transistor 100 can be improved.Herein, work as chemical combination When the atomic ratio of thing is In: Zn: O=X: Y: Z, preferably meet relation Z > 1.5X+Y.
Additionally, In-Zn-O sill can comprise the element in addition to In, Ga and Zn.For example, Formula I nMO3 (ZnO) m The material that (m > 0) represents can be used as oxide semiconductor film 107.Herein, M represents the one kind or many selected from Ga, Al, Mn and Co Plant metallic element.For example, M can be Ga, Ga and Al, Ga and Mn, Ga and Co etc..
Herein, method description being used for forming CAAC-OS film in oxide semiconductor film 107.
The method having following two formation CAAC-OS films:(1) a kind of method is to make oxide semiconductor when heating substrate The formation of film executes once;(2) another kind of method is to be divided into twice the formation of oxide semiconductor film, and heat treatment is every Execute after the formation of once oxidation thing semiconductor film.
First, description is formed the situation of CAAC-OS film with method (1).
When heating substrate 101, oxide semiconductor film 107 is formed on gate insulating film 105.It should be noted that as described above, Oxide semiconductor film 107 can be formed by sputtering method, molecular beam epitaxy, atomic layer deposition method or pulsed laser deposition.
The temperature of setting heating substrate 101, so that the temperature of substrate 101 is greater than or equal to 150 DEG C and is less than or equal to 450 DEG C, further, it is preferred that the temperature of substrate 101 is greater than or equal to 200 DEG C and is less than or equal to 350 DEG C.
During forming oxide semiconductor film 107 temperature setting of substrate 101 is higher, thus can be in oxide half Form wherein crystal block section and amorphous fraction in electrically conductive film 107 compares high CAAC-OS film.
Then, description is formed the situation of CAAC-OS film with method (2).
When the temperature of substrate 101 is maintained above or is equal to 200 DEG C and during less than or equal to 400 DEG C of temperature, exhausted in grid Oxide semiconductor film (the first oxide semiconductor film) as ground floor is formed on velum 105, then nitrogen, oxygen, In the atmosphere of rare gas or dry air greater than or equal to 550 DEG C and less than substrate 101 strain point at a temperature of execute Heat treatment.By heat treatment, form crystal region in including the region of top surface of the first oxide semiconductor film and (include tabular Crystal).Then, form oxide semiconductor film (second oxide as the second layer thicker than the first oxide semiconductor film Semiconductor film).Then, greater than or equal to 550 DEG C and less than substrate 101 strain point at a temperature of execute heat treatment again. By heat treatment, by the use of the seed crystal including the first oxide semiconductor film of crystal region (inclusion platelike crystal) as crystal growth Carry out crystal growth upwards, correspondingly make the whole region crystallization of the top surface including the second oxide semiconductor film.Will Note, the first oxide semiconductor film and the second oxide semiconductor film can use and be applicable to oxide semiconductor film 107 Metal oxide materials are formed.The thickness of the first oxide semiconductor film is preferably greater than or equal to 1nm and is less than or equal to 10nm.
It should be noted that the hydrogen being formed afterwards captures the metallic element preferably including and being formed oxide semiconductor film 107 in film Identical metallic element, and further, hydrogen capture film is preferably oxynitride film containing In.Therefore, in this embodiment, make For oxide semiconductor film 107, In-Ga-Zn-O sill is used to form IGZO film by method (1) (and sputtering method).Cause This, IGZO film is CAAC-OS film.
Although the hydrogen in oxide semiconductor film 107 can form oxidation by the heat treatment release executing afterwards The hydrogen concentration comprising in oxide semiconductor film 107 during thing semiconductor film 107 preferably reduces as far as possible.Specifically, when passing through When sputtering method forms oxide semiconductor film 107, in order to reduce hydrogen concentration, therefrom eliminate impurity (as hydrogen gas and water, hydroxyl groups Or hydride) oxygen, high-purity rare gas (usually argon) or the mixed gas of rare gas and oxygen can be suitably The atmosphere gas of the processing chamber housing as supply to sputter equipment.Additionally, for emptying process chamber, can using and there is high draining The cryopump of ability and the combination with the high sputter ion pump arranging Hydrogen Energy power.
Using above-mentioned sputter equipment and sputtering method, the less oxide semiconductor film of hydrogen content 107 can be formed.It should be noted that Even if when using sputter equipment and sputtering method, oxide semiconductor film 107 still contains some nitrogen.For example, use secondary ion The nitrogen concentration of the oxide semiconductor film 107 that mass spectrography (SIMS) records is less than 5 × 1018cm-3.
Illustrated in fig. 2 by the structure that step so far obtains.
Hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 is formed on oxide semiconductor film 107.Hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 is used as the heat by executing afterwards Process the film therefrom spreading (infiltration) from the hydrogen of oxide semiconductor film 107 release.Due in follow-up manufacturing step by hydrogen Permeable membrane 109 is processed into channel protection film 121, and therefore hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 is formed using dielectric film.As formation hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 method, the method except such as can be used for the sputtering method forming oxide semiconductor film 107, plasma CVD can be used Method.
The channel protection film 121 being formed by processing hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 has holding in the technique manufacturing transistor 100 The clean function of oxide semiconductor film as the channel formation region surface of oxide semiconductor film (especially).Concrete and Speech, because in the technique manufacturing transistor 100, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 is arranged on oxide semiconductor film 107, therefore can prevent Defect and the pollution of organic substance that in subsequent fabrication steps after this step, the dry etching of execution causes.As a result, complete The transistor 100 becoming can have good electrical characteristics.
Herein, the less state compared with the oxygen of stoichiometric proportion in oxide semiconductor of the amount of description oxygen, i.e. oxide Defect (Lacking oxygen) in quasiconductor.During or after forming oxide semiconductor film, in some cases due to oxide Oxygen defect in semiconductor film and generate electric charge.Part Lacking oxygen in oxide semiconductor is typically used as alms giver, and it leads to use Make carrier electronics generate and lead to formed oxide semiconductor film electrical conductivity increase.Therefore, the oxygen of formation The characteristic of semiconductor deterioration of compound semiconductor film.In the transistor of the oxide semiconductor film that inclusion has oxygen defect, occur The deterioration of electrical characteristics, the such as negative offset of threshold voltage and the increase of OFF-state current.
Therefore, the film containing oxide is used as hydrogen-permeable membrane 109, and from there through the heat treatment executing afterwards, hydrogen can be from oxygen Compound semiconductor film 107 discharges and oxygen can be supplied to oxide semiconductor film 107.By supplying to oxide semiconductor film 107 Answer oxygen, the oxygen defect in oxide semiconductor film 107 the correspondingly generation as the electronics of carrier for the suppression can be reduced.Specifically For, silicon oxide film or oxygen silicon nitride membrane can be used as oxidiferous film.
Moreover it is preferred that hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 forms relatively thin, so that passing through the heat treatment executing afterwards from oxide half The hydrogen of electrically conductive film 107 release spreads (infiltration) effectively.Specifically, it is silicon oxide film or silicon oxynitride in hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 In the situation of film, its thickness more than or equal to 0.5nm and can be less than or equal to 15nm, preferably greater than or equal to 2nm and being less than Or it is equal to 5nm.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, as hydrogen-permeable membrane 109, the thickness that silicon oxide film reaches 5nm is formed by sputtering method Degree.
Then, hydrogen capture film 111 is formed on hydrogen-permeable membrane 109.Hydrogen capture film 111 is to have passed through heat treatment for capture Discharge and spread, from oxide semiconductor film 107, the film that (infiltration) passes through the hydrogen of hydrogen-permeable membrane 109.Capture film to being applied to hydrogen 111 film does not have specific restriction, as long as this film has above-mentioned functions, and can use such as conducting film, dielectric film or quasiconductor Film.As forming the method that hydrogen captures film 111, except such as can be used for the side of the sputtering method forming oxide semiconductor film 107 Method, can use plasma CVD method.
Specifically, hydrogen capture film 111 is preferably oxynitride film containing In.For example, oxynitride film containing In is using extremely Few indium nitride and Indium sesquioxide., gallium oxide, zinc oxide, stannum oxide, aluminium oxide, tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, titanium oxide, tantalum oxide and The film that one or more of silicon oxide material is formed.Additionally, the nitrogen concentration that hydrogen captures in film 111 is greater than or equal to 0.01at.% (atomic percent) and be less than 7at.%, or greater than or equal to 7at.% and be less than or equal to 20at.%.
Additionally, hydrogen capture film 111 is not limited to semiconductor film, as long as it is to spread (infiltration) for capture to permeate by hydrogen The film of the hydrogen of film 109.For example, conducting film or dielectric film can be used.For example, its nitrogen concentration is more than or equal to 0.01at.% And the oxynitride film of the nitrogen indium less than 7at.% has high-insulativity matter.Its nitrogen concentration is more than or equal to 7at.% and little In or be equal to the oxynitride film of nitrogen indium of 20at.% there is when hydrogen is combined high conductivity in some cases.Will Note, the nitrogen concentration that hydrogen captures in film 111 can be analyzed to quantify by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
The oxynitride film containing In capturing the example description of film 111 as hydrogen may be provided at gate electrode 103 and gate insulating film Between 105.The part hydrogen comprising in oxynitride film containing In generates the electronics as carrier.Because electronics has negative charge, Therefore in the way of similar to the situation applying back bias voltage from gate electrode, generate electric field, so that the threshold voltage of transistor is in pros Offset up.Hydrogen concentration in oxynitride film containing In can be controlled by controlling the nitrogen concentration in oxynitride film containing In.Will Note, the hydrogen concentration in oxynitride film can be quantified by SIMS, and be set greater than or be equal to 1 × 1019cm-3And be less than Or it is equal to 5 × 1020cm-3, preferably greater than or equal to 1 × 1020cm-3And it is less than or equal to 3 × 1020cm-3.In oxynitride film Hydrogen concentration is set in the above range, thus can suppress the negative offset of the threshold voltage of transistor.
In the situation that the oxynitride film containing In capturing film 111 for hydrogen is formed by sputtering method, using inclusion at least The target of Indium sesquioxide. and supply nitriding gas.As target, except Indium sesquioxide., it is also possible to use including gallium oxide, zinc oxide, oxidation At least one material in stannum, aluminium oxide, tungsten oxide, molybdenum oxide, titanium oxide, tantalum oxide and silicon oxide.Nitriding gas comprise At least nitrogen, and except nitrogen, also can further include at least one in rare gas (as helium, neon, argon, krypton or xenon) and oxygen.
Specifically, the main component of the metallic element that oxide semiconductor film 107 includes can be captured in film 111 with hydrogen Including metallic element main component identical, therefore hydrogen is captured film 111 and can use and included with oxide semiconductor film 107 Identical metal oxide materials are formed.Therefore, in oxide semiconductor film 107 by nitrogenizing the situation that IGZO film obtains In, hydrogen captures the IGZON film that film 111 can be as nitridation IGZO film.It should be noted that IGZON film can be same by forming IGZO film When to obtain in nitrogen supply to the processing chamber housing be used for the device forming IGZO film.
In addition, it is contemplated that the type of film to be formed and its formation time, hydrogen capture film 111 can be formed to have required thickness Degree.However, hydrogen captures film 111 is preferably formed as obtaining the sufficiently thick hydrogen discharging with effective capture from oxide semiconductor film 107.Specifically For, its thickness more than or equal to 10nm and can be less than or equal to 500nm.
It should be noted that in the present embodiment, capture film 111 as hydrogen, IGZON film is formed by sputtering method and reaches 100nm's Thickness.
Gate insulating film 105, oxide semiconductor film 107, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 and hydrogen capture film 111 can be continuous in a vacuum Formed.For example, the bag being attached on substrate 101 and the surface of gate electrode 103 is being removed by heat treatment or corona treatment After including the impurity of hydrogen, gate insulating film 105 can be formed and be not exposed to air, and also oxide semiconductor film can be formed continuously 107th, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 and hydrogen capture film 111 and are not exposed to air.Formed by above-mentioned continuous film, can reduce and be attached to The impurity of the inclusion hydrogen on the surface of substrate 101 and gate electrode 103.Additionally, in substrate 101, gate electrode 103, gate insulating film 105th, oxide semiconductor film 107, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 and hydrogen capture in the lamination of film 111, Atmospheric components can be prevented to be attached to all Each interface between layer.As a result, can effectively make to discharge from oxide semiconductor film 107 by the heat treatment executing afterwards Hydrogen diffusion (infiltration) is simultaneously captured.Additionally, the transistor 100 completing can have good electrical characteristics.
Then, heat treatment is executed to the structure obtaining by step so far.By executing heat treatment, oxide semiconductor The hydrogen that film 107 includes is releasable.The hydrogen infiltration hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 of release is simultaneously captured by hydrogen capture film 111.In other words, lead to Cross execution heat treatment, the hydrogen that oxide semiconductor film 107 includes is transferred to hydrogen capture film 111.Therefore, by heat treatment, Form the highly purified oxide semiconductor film 113 that wherein hydrogen concentration reduces.The structure being obtained by step so far is in figure Shown in 2B.
Additionally, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 is formed between oxide semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen capture film 111, by this oxide half Electrically conductive film 107 and hydrogen capture film 111 are arranged separated from one anotherly.For example, capture film 111 in hydrogen and be set directly at oxide semiconductor In situation on film 107, remain in oxygen in some cases by some hydrogen that heat treatment discharges from oxide semiconductor film 107 Interface between compound semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen capture film 111, and film 111 is not captured by hydrogen and capture.However, when hydrogen infiltration When film 109 is arranged between oxide semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen capture film 111, by heat treatment from oxide semiconductor film 107 The hydrogen of release is transferred to hydrogen capture film 111, without remaining in oxide semiconductor film 107, and therefore oxide half Hydrogen concentration in electrically conductive film 107 can fully reduce.
Oxide semiconductor film 107 is directly formed in the situation that hydrogen captures film 111, hydrogen remains in oxide semiconductor Film 107 and hydrogen capture the interface between film 111, and hydrogen is used as alms giver, and it leads to the cut-off state of transistor 100 completing The increase of electric current.Oxide semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen capture film 111 between setting hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 make will be from oxide The hydrogen migration of semiconductor film 107 release captures film 111 to hydrogen and remains in without hydrogen that become in oxide semiconductor film 107 can Energy.Additionally, the hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 (it will become channel protection film 121 in step afterwards) that setting has insulating property (properties) makes The increase that the OFF-state current of transistor 100 completing must be suppressed is possibly realized.
The temperature of heat treatment is higher than 450 DEG C and the strain point less than substrate 101, preferably greater than or equal to 500 DEG C and be less than The strain point of substrate 101, more preferably greater than or equal to 550 DEG C and the strain point less than substrate 101.With the rising of temperature, from The amount of the hydrogen of oxide semiconductor film 107 release also increases.Additionally, with the oxide semiconductor film being formed on the substrate 101 The reduction of 107 thickness, temperature can reduce.
There is no specific restriction to the annealing device for heat treatment, and this device can be provided with for by from all As the heat radiation of the heating element heater of stratie or conduction of heat to heat the equipment of pending object.For example, can be using electricity The rapid thermal annealing of stove or such as gas rapid thermal annealing (GRTA) device or lamp rapid thermal annealing (LRTA) device etc (RTA) device.LRTA device be for by from such as Halogen light, metal halide lamp, xenon arc lamp, carbon arc lamp, high-pressure mercury lamp or The device to heat pending object for the radiation of the light (electromagnetic wave) of lamp transmitting of high voltage mercury lamp etc.GRTA device is for making Carry out heat-treating apparatus with high-temperature gas.
The hydrogen concentration of the oxide semiconductor film 113 being formed by heat treatment is less than 1 × 1019cm-3, preferably shorter than or wait In 5 × 1018cm-3.It should be noted that the hydrogen concentration in oxide semiconductor film 113 is the value that available SIMS quantifies.In oxide half In electrically conductive film 113, the amount of the hydrogen as alms giver reduces, and suppresses the generation of the electronics as carrier;Therefore oxide half Electrically conductive film 113 has good characteristic of semiconductor.
Because silicon oxide film or oxygen silicon nitride membrane are used as hydrogen-permeable membrane 109, therefore pass through heat treatment, oxygen from silicon oxide film or Oxygen silicon nitride membrane is supplied to oxide semiconductor film 113, thus reducing oxygen defect.Additionally, in the present embodiment, as by adding The oxygen excess silicon oxide film that heat discharges the example of the film of oxygen is used as gate insulating film 105, thus also by heat treatment from oxygen excess Silicon oxide film supplies oxygen, is consequently formed the oxide semiconductor film 113 that its oxygen defect is reduced.
In oxide semiconductor film 113, reduce hydrogen concentration and oxygen defect by heat treatment;Therefore partly lead in oxide The generation as the electronics of carrier for the suppression in body film 113.Therefore, in the transistor 100 including oxide semiconductor film 113 The negative offset of suppression threshold voltage, is derived from the transistor that its normal on state characteristic is suppressed.
Additionally, can be reduced by heat treatment interface energy level between gate insulating film 105 and oxide semiconductor film 113 with And the interface energy level between oxide semiconductor film 113 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 117.In such transistor 100 manufacturing, can prevent It is captured in each interface according to the electric charge that operation generates.In this way, transistor 100 can be that to have less electrical characteristics bad The transistor changed.
It is that its hydrogen concentration is lowered in oxide semiconductor film 113 (being oxide semiconductor film 107 before the heat treatment) The situation of CAAC-OS film in, the channel formation region (oxide semiconductor film being formed afterwards in the transistor 100 completing 115) the CAAC-OS film being lowered by its hydrogen concentration is formed.Thus, transistor 100 can be the height with stable electrical characteristics Reliable transistor, wherein before light (visible ray or ultraviolet light) irradiation and afterwards between and in grid bias-temperature (BT), between before stress test and afterwards, the skew of threshold voltage is less.
In oxide semiconductor film 113, hydrogen concentration fully reduces (highly purified), and by heat treatment supply enough Oxygen, reduce the defect level in the band gap that caused by oxygen defect.As a result, reduce the crystal including oxide semiconductor film 113 The OFF-state current of pipe 100.Specifically, the OFF-state current under room temperature (25 DEG C) (herein for channel length be 3 μm and Channel width is the value of 1 μm of transistor) for 100zA, (1zA (narrow general support (zepto) ampere) is 1 × 10-21A) or following, excellent Select 10zA or following.Because the alkali metal of such as Li or Na is impurity, it is advantageous to reducing the alkali-metal amount entering transistor. Alkali-metal concentration in oxide semiconductor film 113 (oxide semiconductor film 115 being formed afterwards) be less than or equal to 2 × 1016cm-3, preferably lower than or equal to 1 × 1015cm-3.Additionally, the content of alkaline-earth metal is preferably relatively low, because alkaline-earth metal is also Impurity.
Etching mask is formed at hydrogen by photoetching process and captures on film 111, and using Etching mask by oxide Semiconductor film 113, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 and hydrogen capture film 111 be etched into required form, thus formed oxide semiconductor film 115, Hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 and hydrogen capture film 119.It should be noted that the scope of the hydrogen concentration in oxide semiconductor film 115 is oxide partly leading The scope of the hydrogen concentration in body film 113.It should be noted that Etching mask both can pass through photoetching process, ink-jet method, printing also can be passed through Method etc. is properly formed.For etching, wet etching or dry etching can be adopted, and preferably be carried out etching so that oxide half The end that electrically conductive film 115, hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 and hydrogen capture film 119 each has cone angle.Using oxide semiconductor film 115, hydrogen The cone angle of the end of permeable membrane 117 and hydrogen capture film 119, in the manufacturing process of transistor 100, after can improving this etching step The coverage rate of the film being formed, and can correspondingly prevent the discontinuous of film.In the situation of execution dry etching, can be by making to resist Erosion agent mask executes etching to form cone angle while retrogressing.
As in the dry etching capturing film 119 for forming oxide semiconductor film 115, hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 and hydrogen Etching gas, preferably uses chlorine-containing gas (chlorine-based gas, such as chlorine (Cl2), boron chloride (BCl3), Silicon chloride. (SiCl4) Or carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)).
Or, can be using fluoro-gas (fluorine base gas, such as carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), Nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) or fluoroform (CHF3)).
As for the etching in this step, due to the oxide semiconductor film 113 in state before etching and gate insulating film 105 Composition material is different from each other, and therefore their etch-rate is also different from each other.Therefore, using oxide semiconductor film 113 relatively In the high etch-selectivity of gate insulating film 105 condition and in view of the terminal in oxide semiconductor film 113, form oxide Semiconductor film 115, hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 and hydrogen capture film 119.It should be noted that the structure being obtained by step so far is in fig. 2 c Illustrate.
Then, Etching mask is formed at hydrogen by photoetching process and captures on film 119, and using Etching mask execution Etching is to form required form, so that the hydrogen of channel protection film 121 and the size acquisition capturing film 119 by reduction hydrogen captures film 123 are formed on oxide semiconductor film 115.It should be noted that channel protection film 121 by with hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 identical material structure Become.Etching mask both can pass through photoetching process, also can be properly formed by ink-jet method, print process etc..Etching can be dry Method etching or wet etching, and preferably be carried out etching so that the end that channel protection film 121 and hydrogen capture film 123 has cone Angle.The formation of the cone angle of end of channel protection film 121 and hydrogen capture film 123 leads to should in the manufacturing process of transistor 100 In subsequent step after step, the coverage rate of film of formation improves and prevents the discontinuous of film.In the situation using dry etching In, can be by making Etching mask reduced size of execution simultaneously etching obtain cone angle.
In the situation forming channel protection film 121 and hydrogen capture film 123 by dry etching, as mentioned above can use example As chlorine-containing gas or fluoro-gas.
Composition due to the oxide semiconductor film 115 in the state before etching in this step and hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 Material is different from each other, and therefore their etch-rate is also different from each other.Therefore, using hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 with respect to oxide half The condition of the high etch-selectivity of electrically conductive film 115 in view of the terminal in oxide semiconductor film 117, forms channel protection film 121 and hydrogen capture film 123.It should be noted that being illustrated in figure 2d by the structure that step so far obtains.

(embodiment 2)
In the present embodiment, the transistor different from the structure division of transistor 100 in embodiment 1 by describing its structure 200.Specifically, the shape being different only in that hydrogen capture film of transistor 200 and transistor 100;Therefore in some cases Reference for describing transistor 200 is identical with for describing the reference of transistor 100.Additionally, transistor 200 is One modified example of transistor 100, thus the description in embodiment 1 can be applicable to the present embodiment.
Fig. 4 A is the top view of transistor 200.Fig. 4 B is the sectional view being taken along the chain-dotted line C-D in Fig. 4 A.
Transistor 200 includes the gate electrode 103 on substrate 101, the gate insulating film 105 of covering grid electrode 103, gate insulating film Oxide semiconductor film 215 on 105, the channel protection film 121 being formed by hydrogen-permeable membrane on oxide semiconductor film 215, The hydrogen capture film 123a contacting with partial oxide semiconductor film 215, part channel protection film 121 and part gate insulating film 105 And source electrode 125a on 123b, and hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b and drain electrode 125b.It should be noted that for the sake of clarity, Not shown gate insulating film 105 in Figure 4 A.The end of hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b has cone angle in figure 4b, but in order to clear Chu Qijian, the cone angle of not shown hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b in Figure 4 A.In transistor according to an embodiment of the invention In, in addition to the channel protection film being formed on channel formation region, dielectric film may be formed on channel protection film to cover oxidation The end of thing semiconductor film.
Transistor 200 has bottom grating structure, and wherein gate electrode 103 is arranged on the substrate 101.Additionally, transistor 200 has Top contact structure, wherein source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b are disposed in contact with the top surface of oxide semiconductor film 115 A part.
In transistor 200, hydrogen captures the shape of film 123a and 123b and the shape of source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b Shape is identical, and this is different from transistor 100.
Equally in transistor 200, hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b utilizes phase with source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b Same Etching mask is formed simultaneously, thus hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b is disposed separately.
As in the description of transistor 100, in transistor 200, the width W_OS of oxide semiconductor film 115 can be little Width W_GE in gate electrode 103.This structure can prevent from being exposed to the light entering from the rear surface of substrate 101 (as visible ray And ultraviolet light);Therefore, the deterioration of the electrical characteristics being caused by the irradiation of light can be reduced in the transistor 200 completing.It should be noted that As the example of the electrical characteristics deterioration being caused by the irradiation of light, provide the negative offset of threshold voltage and the increasing of OFF-state current Plus.
Oxide semiconductor film 215 is used as the channel formation region of transistor 200.Channel protection film 121 is arranged on oxide On semiconductor film 215, so that the channel length of transistor 200 corresponds to the width W_CS of channel protection film 121.Setting raceway groove is protected Cuticula 121 can prevent oxide semiconductor film 215 to be etched during forming source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b.Therefore, The defect that this etching causes can be suppressed;Therefore, the transistor 200 completing can have good electrical characteristics.
The method manufacturing transistor 200 below with reference to Fig. 5 A to 5D and Fig. 6 A to 6E description.
As in Example 1, gate electrode 103, gate insulating film 105 and oxide semiconductor film 107 are formed at substrate 101 On.
As for for the material of substrate 101, gate electrode 103 and oxide semiconductor film 107, thickness and method, refer to Embodiment 1.It should be noted that being illustrated in fig. 5 by the structure that step so far obtains.
The oxynitride film containing In that the same hydrogen that in transistor 200, can be applicable to describe afterwards captures film 111 can be formed Between gate electrode 103 and gate insulating film 105.Therefore, transistor 200 can obtain the effect described in the explanation of transistor 100 Really.
Then, the hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 being processed into channel protection film 121 is formed on oxide semiconductor film 107 (figure 5B).As for for the material of hydrogen-permeable membrane 109, thickness and method, refer to embodiment 1.
The channel protection film 121 being formed by processing hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 has holding in the technique manufacturing transistor 200 The clean function in channel formation region at least in the oxide semiconductor film surface of oxide semiconductor film (especially).Concrete and Speech, because in the technique manufacturing transistor 200, hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 is arranged on oxide semiconductor film 107, therefore can prevent The defect of the organic substance being caused by the dry etching of execution in subsequent fabrication steps after this step and pollution.As a result, complete The transistor 200 becoming can have good electrical characteristics.
In the same technique in manufacture transistor 200, oxide semiconductor film 107 oxygen defect (Lacking oxygen) occurs. As described in example 1 above, part Lacking oxygen is used as alms giver, and it leads to generating and leading to oxide half of the electronics as carrier The increase of the electrical conductivity of electrically conductive film 107.Therefore, the characteristic of semiconductor deterioration of the oxide semiconductor film 107 being formed.
Therefore, as in Example 1, the film containing oxide is used for hydrogen-permeable membrane 109, from there through execute afterwards Heat treatment, can go dehydrogenation from oxide semiconductor film 107 and oxygen can be supplied to oxide semiconductor film 107.By to oxygen Compound semiconductor film 107 supplies oxygen, can reduce the oxygen defect in oxide semiconductor film 107 and correspondingly suppress to be used as carrier Electronics generation.Specifically, silicon oxide film or oxygen silicon nitride membrane can be used as oxidiferous film.
Gate insulating film 105, oxide semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 can be formed continuously in a vacuum.For example, exist Removed by heat treatment or corona treatment the inclusion hydrogen being attached on substrate 101 and the surface of gate electrode 103 impurity it Afterwards, gate insulating film 105 can be formed and be not exposed to air, and also oxide semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen infiltration can be formed continuously Film 109 and be not exposed to air.Formed by above-mentioned continuous film, the surface being attached to substrate 101 and gate electrode 103 can be reduced On inclusion hydrogen impurity.Additionally, oozing in substrate 101, gate electrode 103, gate insulating film 105, oxide semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen In the lamination of permeable membrane 109, Atmospheric components can be prevented to be attached to each interface between all layers.As a result, can effectively make by it The hydrogen that the heat treatment executing afterwards discharges from oxide semiconductor film 107 spreads (infiltration) and is captured.Additionally, the transistor completing 200 can have good electrical characteristics.
Etching mask is formed on hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 by photoetching process, and using Etching mask by oxide Semiconductor film 107 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 109 are etched into required form, thus forming oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 117.It should be noted that Etching mask both can pass through photoetching process, also can be properly formed by ink-jet method, print process etc..For Etching, can adopt wet etching or dry etching, and preferably is carried out etching so that oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 end each has cone angle.Using the cone angle of oxide semiconductor film 207 and the end of hydrogen-permeable membrane 117, in transistor In 200 manufacturing process, the coverage rate of the film being formed after can improving this etching step, and can correspondingly prevent the discontinuous of film. In the situation of execution dry etching, cone angle can be formed by execution etching while making Etching mask retreat.
In the technique manufacturing transistor 100, execute heat treatment to discharge the hydrogen in oxide semiconductor film 107, then Execute etching.On the other hand, in the technique manufacturing transistor 200, it is etched in and oxide semiconductor film is discharged by heat treatment Execute before hydrogen in 107.Therefore, the hydrogen concentration in the oxide semiconductor film 207 after this etching and oxide semiconductor film Hydrogen concentration in 107 is phase same level.
For example, the chloride or fluoro-gas being given in embodiment 1 can ooze for forming oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen Use in the dry etching of permeable membrane 117.
As for the etching in this step, due to the oxide semiconductor film 107 in state before etching and gate insulating film 105 Composition material is different from each other, and therefore their etch-rate is also different from each other.Therefore, using oxide semiconductor film 107 relatively In the high etch-selectivity of gate insulating film 105 condition and in view of the terminal in oxide semiconductor film 107, form oxide Semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 117.It should be noted that being illustrated in figure 5 c by the structure that step so far obtains.
Then, Etching mask is formed on hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 by photoetching process, and using Etching mask by hydrogen Permeable membrane 117 is etched into required form, so that channel protection film 121 may be formed on oxide semiconductor film 207.It should be noted that Channel protection film 121 is formed using with hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 identical material.For etching, can be using wet etching or dry method erosion Carve, and preferably be carried out etching so that the end of channel protection film 121 has cone angle.End using channel protection film 121 Cone angle, in the manufacturing process of transistor 200, the coverage rate of the film being formed after can improving this etching step, and can correspondingly prevent Only film is discontinuous.In the situation of execution dry etching, can be come by execution etching while making Etching mask retreat Form cone angle.
For example, above-mentioned chloride or fluoro-gas can be used as forming the erosion used in the dry etching of channel protection film 121 Carve gas.
Group due to oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 in the state before etching in this step is become a useful person Material is different from each other, and therefore their etch-rate is also different from each other.Therefore, partly led with respect to oxide using hydrogen-permeable membrane 117 The condition of the high etch-selectivity of body film 207 in view of the terminal in oxide semiconductor film 117, forms channel protection film 121.It should be noted that being illustrated in figure 5d by the structure that step so far obtains.
Then, hydrogen capture film 111 is formed on gate insulating film 105, oxide semiconductor film 207 and channel protection film 121. As for the material, thickness and the method that capture film 111 for hydrogen, refer to embodiment 1.Hydrogen capture film 111 has capture and passes through it The heat treatment executing afterwards discharges and diffuses into (passing through) channel protection film 121 from oxide semiconductor film 207 and (also serves as hydrogen infiltration Film) hydrogen function.There is no specific restriction to the film being applied to hydrogen capture film 111, as long as this film has above-mentioned functions, and And such as conducting film, dielectric film or semiconductor film can be used.It should be noted that being shown in fig. 6 by the structure that step so far obtains Go out.
The hydrogen capture film 111 of transistor 200 includes capture and discharges from oxide semiconductor film 207 and pass through channel protection film The region of 121 hydrogen, and capture discharges from oxide semiconductor film 207 and do not pass through the region of the hydrogen of channel protection film 121.
Then, heat treatment is executed to the structure obtaining by step so far.By executing heat treatment, oxide semiconductor The hydrogen that film 207 includes is releasable.The hydrogen infiltration channel protection film 121 of release is simultaneously captured by hydrogen capture film 111.In other words, By executing heat treatment, the hydrogen that oxide semiconductor film 207 includes is transferred to hydrogen capture film 111.Therefore, at by heat Reason, forms the highly purified oxide semiconductor film 215 that wherein hydrogen concentration reduces.Existed by the structure that step so far obtains Shown in Fig. 6 B.
Additionally, channel protection film 121 is formed between oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen capture film 111, by this oxide Semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen capture film 111 are arranged separated from one anotherly.For example, it is set directly at oxide in hydrogen capture film 111 partly to lead In situation on body film 207, remained in some cases by some hydrogen that heat treatment discharges from oxide semiconductor film 207 Interface between oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen capture film 111, and film 111 is not captured by hydrogen and capture.However, working as raceway groove When protecting film 121 is arranged between oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen capture film 111, by heat treatment from oxide semiconductor The hydrogen of film 207 release is transferred to hydrogen capture film 111, without remaining in oxide semiconductor film 207, and therefore aoxidizes Hydrogen concentration in thing semiconductor film 207 can fully reduce.
Oxide semiconductor film 207 is directly formed in the situation that hydrogen captures film 111, hydrogen remains in oxide semiconductor Film 207 and hydrogen capture the interface between film 111, and hydrogen is used as alms giver, and it leads to the cut-off state of transistor 100 completing Electric current increases.Oxide semiconductor film 207 and hydrogen capture film 111 between setting channel protection film 121 make will be from oxide The hydrogen migration of semiconductor film 207 release captures film 111 to hydrogen and does not end up in oxide semiconductor film 207 (especially in raceway groove Formed in area) it is possibly realized.Additionally, setting has the channel protection film 121 of insulating property (properties) so that suppressing the transistor 200 completing The increase of OFF-state current be possibly realized.
For the temperature adopting in heat treatment and heater, refer to embodiment 1.
{0>The hydrogen concentration of the oxide semiconductor film 215 (particularly the channel formation region)formed by the heat treatment is lower than 1×1019cm-3, preferably lower than or equal to 5 × 1018cm-3.<}88{>By heat The hydrogen concentration of the oxide semiconductor film 215 (especially channel formation region) that process is formed is less than 1 × 1019cm-3, preferably shorter than Or it is equal to 5 × 1018cm-3.<0}{0>Note that the hydrogen concentration in the oxide semiconductor film 215is a value that can be quantified by SIMS.<}100{>It should be noted that Hydrogen concentration in oxide semiconductor film 215 is the value that available SIMS quantifies.<0}{0>In the oxide semiconductor Film 215, the amount of hydrogen serving as a donor is reduced, and generation of electrons serving as a carrier is suppressed;thus the oxide semiconductor film 215has favorable semiconductor characteristics.<}100{>In oxide semiconductor film 215 In, the amount of the hydrogen as alms giver reduces, and suppresses the generation of the electronics as carrier;Therefore oxide semiconductor film 215 There is good characteristic of semiconductor.<0}
Because silicon oxide film or oxygen silicon nitride membrane are used as channel protection film 121, therefore pass through heat treatment, oxygen is from silicon oxide film Or oxygen silicon nitride membrane (channel protection film 121) supplies to oxide semiconductor film 215, thus reducing oxygen defect.Additionally, equally existing In the present embodiment, the oxygen excess silicon oxide film as the example of the film by heating release oxygen is used as gate insulating film 105, thus Supply oxygen by heat treatment from oxygen excess silicon oxide film, be consequently formed the oxide semiconductor film 215 that its oxygen defect is reduced.
In oxide semiconductor film 215, reduce hydrogen concentration and oxygen defect by heat treatment;Therefore partly lead in oxide The generation as the electronics of carrier for the suppression in body film 215.Therefore, in the transistor 200 including oxide semiconductor film 215 The negative offset of suppression threshold voltage, is derived from the transistor that its normal on state characteristic is suppressed.
Additionally, can be reduced by heat treatment interface energy level between gate insulating film 105 and oxide semiconductor film 215 with And the interface energy level between oxide semiconductor film 215 and channel protection film 121.In such transistor 200 manufacturing, can prevent Only it is captured in each interface according to the electric charge that operation generates.In this way, transistor 200 can be to have less electrical characteristics The transistor of deterioration.
Similar to embodiment 1, the oxide semiconductor film 215 in the channel formation region as the transistor 200 completing is In the situation of CAAC-OS film that its hydrogen concentration reduces, transistor 200 can be the highly reliable crystal with stable electrical characteristics Pipe, wherein light (visible ray or ultraviolet light) irradiation before and afterwards between and in grid bias-temperature (BT) stress test Between before and afterwards, the skew of threshold voltage is less.It should be noted that the scope of hydrogen concentration in oxide semiconductor film 215 with Identical in oxide semiconductor film 115 described in embodiment 1.
In oxide semiconductor film 215, hydrogen concentration fully reduces (highly purified), and by heat treatment supply enough Oxygen, reduce the defect level in the energy gap that caused by oxygen defect.As a result, reduce the crystal including oxide semiconductor film 215 The OFF-state current of pipe 200.Specifically, the OFF-state current under room temperature (25 DEG C) (herein for channel length be 3 μm and Channel width is the value of 1 μm of transistor) for 100zA, (1zA (narrow general support ampere) is 1 × 10-21A) or following, preferably 10zA or Below.Because the alkali metal of such as Li or Na is impurity, it is advantageous to reducing the alkali-metal amount entering transistor.Oxide half Alkali-metal concentration in electrically conductive film 215 is less than or equal to 2 × 1016cm-3, preferably lower than or equal to 1 × 1015cm-3.Additionally, alkali The content of earth metal is preferably relatively low, because alkaline-earth metal is also impurity.
Then, there is single layer structure or the conducting film 125 of laminated construction is formed on hydrogen capture film 111 (referring to Fig. 6 C). The conductive material being applied to the gate electrode 103 described in embodiment 1 is used for conducting film 125.
Etching mask is formed on conducting film 125 by photoetching process.Using Etching mask, conducting film 125 is etched Become required form, thus forming source electrode 125a and drain electrode 125b.After forming source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b, It is possible with Etching mask etching a part of hydrogen capture film 111 to form detached hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b.This In the case of, a part of channel protection film 121 is exposed by etching.It should be noted that hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b can have electric conductivity Matter.In this case, hydrogen captures film 123a and hydrogen captures a part and the drain electrode that film 123b can be considered source electrode 125a A part of 125b.
Because the composition material of hydrogen capture film 111 and channel protection film 121 is different from each other, therefore their etch-rate Different from each other.Therefore, capture the condition of the high etch-selectivity with respect to channel protection film 121 for the film 111 using hydrogen and consider Hydrogen captures the terminal in film 111, forms hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b.
Setting channel protection film 121 can prevent oxide semiconductor film 215 formed source electrode and drain electrode 125a and It is etched during 125b and hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b.Therefore, because the oxygen in the channel formation region as transistor 200 The defect being caused by etching is not produced, therefore transistor 200 has good electrical characteristics in compound semiconductor film 215.
Capture in the situation that film 111 is not high enough to respect to the etching selectivity of oxide semiconductor film 215 in hydrogen, with hydrogen The partial oxide semiconductor film 215 (four angles of oxide semiconductor film 215 in Fig. 4 A) of capture film 111 contact is in the source that formed It is possible to disappear during electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b or hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b, and the oxide of transistor 200 Semiconductor film 215 can retain, as shown in Figure 4 A.In order to form this shape, in the etch-rate considering hydrogen capture film 111 and thickness The period for etching is adjusted in the case of degree.
In transistor 200, detached hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b and oxide semiconductor film 215 and source electrode and Drain electrode 125a with 125b contacts.Have greater than or equal to 7 as hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b containing In oxynitride film Atomic percent and less than or equal to 20 atomic percents (this value quantifies by XPS method) nitrogen concentration and with capture hydrogen In conjunction with when have in the situation of high conductivity, by oxide semiconductor film 215 and source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b Between setting hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b, the contact resistance between oxide semiconductor film 215 and source electrode 125a and oxygen Contact resistance between compound semiconductor film 215 and drain electrode 125b can reduce, thus leading to the cut-off state electricity of transistor 200 Stream increases.
The electric field being caused by the negative charge that a part of hydrogen that hydrogen captures film 123a and 123b capture generates, transistor 200 Threshold voltage can positive offset.
Etching mask for forming source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b both can pass through photoetching process, also can pass through Ink-jet method, print process etc. are properly formed.Etching for forming source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b can be dry method erosion Carve or wet etching, and preferably be carried out etching so that the end of source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b has cone angle.This is Because using the source electrode with cone angle and drain electrode 125a and 125b, this step in the manufacturing process of transistor 100 can be improved The coverage rate of the film being formed in subsequent step afterwards, and the discontinuous of film can be prevented.In the situation using dry etching, can lead to Cross and make Etching mask reduced size of execution simultaneously etching obtain cone angle.
Source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b are also respectively provided with source wiring and the function of drain electrode wiring.Source electrode 125a With the thickness of drain electrode 125b can with identical in embodiment 1.Illustrated in figure 6d by the structure that step so far obtains.
By above-mentioned steps, transistor 200 can be manufactured.
As transistor 100, in transistor 200, protection dielectric film 127 may be provided at channel protection film 121, divides From hydrogen capture film 123a and 123b and source electrode and drain electrode 125a and 125b on (referring to Fig. 6 E).For protection insulation Film 127, refers to embodiment 1.
As in the description of transistor 100, in addition to above-mentioned heat treatment, transistor 200 can be carried out at another heat Reason.That is, heat treatment can perform repeatedly being used for manufacturing transistor 200.Condition (temperature for second or heat treatment afterwards Degree, heating atmosphere, process time, heat treatment sequential be used for heat-treating apparatus) with identical in embodiment 1.
Hydrogen concentration in the situation executing multiple heat treatment, in the oxide semiconductor film 215 of the transistor 200 completing Can reduce further.Additionally, the oxygen defect in oxide semiconductor film 215, gate insulating film 105 and oxide semiconductor can be reduced Interface energy level between film 215 and the interface energy level between oxide semiconductor film 215 and channel protection film 121.Therefore, Transistor 200 can be the highly reliable transistor with stable electrical characteristics.
